Weather

Weather refers to the short-term atmospheric conditions in a specific area at a given time. It encompasses various elements such as temperature, humidity, precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, etc.), wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure, and cloud cover. Weather can change rapidly and is often described in terms of daily forecasts, indicating whether conditions will be sunny, rainy, stormy, snowy, or cloudy. It plays a crucial role in daily life, influencing activities such as agriculture, travel, and outdoor events. Weather is distinct from climate, which refers to the average atmospheric conditions over a longer period and a larger geographical area. Weather phenomena are caused by the interaction of the Earth’s atmosphere with solar energy, the rotation of the planet, and various geographical features.
